CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,792, dated February 15, 1881.

Application filed November 26, 1880.

To all whom t't may concern;

Be it known that we, LISTON B. WILSON and ISAAC A. WILSON, of Zanesville, in the county of Muskingum and State of Ohio, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as-will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, which form part of this specification.

Our invention relates to an improvement in reciprocating churns, and is designed to provide a churn of simple construction and of easy operation, speedily bringing about the desired result, and one that may be manufactured and supplied to the trade at a comparatively light cost.

With these ends in view our invention consists in a churn-dasher consisting, essentially,

. constructed in accordance with our invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the churn-dasher. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the under side thereof, and Fig. 4 is a view in end elevation.

Let A represent the churn-standard; B, inclined beams supporting upright posts 0.

D are cross-pieces secured to the upper ends of the upright posts 0, and E is a horizontal beam attached to the outer ends of the crosspieces D, said cross-pieces D and beam E forming a frame to support the dash-rod F. The beam E is provided at F with a circular recess, in which the dash-rod is received and has vertical movement.

Fly-wheel G is mounted on shaft A, journaled in boxes B secured to the cross-beams O 0 which latter are secured at each end to the'upright posts 0 (J.

ing on a pivot or screw,b

(No model.)

lies in the fact that with the same strength of tooth the gears are capable of transmitting greater force, as a greater number of teeth are at the same time in engagement.

The front end of the shaft A, which projects through journal-box B mounted on cross-beam O, is provided with a governor D having one end, E, weighted with a ball, E and the other end, E3, provided with a number of apertures, a, into which the lower end of the pitman-rod E is adapted to bereceived in adjustable engagement. The upper end of the dasher-rod F is also provided with a number of apertures, a, int-owhich the upper end of the pitman E is received. The object of thus providing several different adjustments for the pitman-rod is to enable the plunge of the dash to be regulated according to the amount of cream to be churned, allowing the same churning-vessel to be used, even though the amount of cream to be churned is very small. While in use the dash-rod is retained within the circular recess F in the dash-support E by a latch, 1), swing- When it is desired to remove the dasher from the churn it may be easily done by lifting the latch and removing the lid G of the churn G which latter may be of any approved form of construction.

The dasher shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings consists of two body or frame pieces, 0 0, framed together at right angles. On the lower face of these cross-pieces two rectangular structures are formed, each consisting of four pieces of wood, 0 c c c d cl d d; or they may, if found expedient, be formed of a single piece of material.

The upper face of the frame structure is provided with a rectangular structure formed of the pieces I) b b 1) intermediate in size between the two structures on the under face of the dasher and directlyover the aperture formed between them. The action of the whole structure forming the dasher, presenting many angles, as it does, will be to lash the cream violently and separate the butter globules in the cream from the mill; in a short time.

lhe fly-wheel and governor impart a steady and even action to the churning; motion, com pletely overcoming the shock of the dasher as it strikes a broad surface of heavy cream, and which is so objectionable to the operator and wearing to the churn in the old constructions.

Haring fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A churn dasher consisting, essentially, of two body-pieces framed together at right a11- gles, the dash-rod being joined therewith at the point of intersection, of two difierentsized rectangular structures attached to the lower have hereunto setour hands this 8th day of 25 November, 1680.
